However, here are some pictures of a pair of quilts, for a boy and a girl; I'm quite pleased with these.
I only used fabrics from my stash, even for the backs. The clown fabric that is used in the centre of some of the blocks is a Laura Ashley Country Furnishing Cotton from the 1980s. I have only a few very small squares left of it now. I love the colours, but the clowns actually look a bit miserable! I hope these quilts will be used rather than tucked away in a drawer. One has a ribbon border appliqued on because I accidentally nicked the outer border fabric with a rotary cutter in a couple of places - now secured by the ribbon! Oops.

They look great! And you've just reminded me that I have a baby quilt to make asap. :-) Good luck with the PhD!!!
Thanks! Happy to report that I have now handed in my thesis, so isn't that fantastic! Have now come down with a terrible cold which is stopping me from doing some serious sewing, which is quite annoying, as I won't have another chance during the holidays.
These look lovely! I love the idea of twins being different - it must be horrid to be 'one of the twins' and have common belongings.
